    Thanks for the review. Just got mine today. Been working only with Mavic Pros for years. Actually did a shoot yesterday with the Mavic 2 Pro, on the coast, of a huge cement plant. The winds were bad enough for my Mavic, couldn't imagine even trying that with the Mini. Good to have options, right?! And seems the Mini 4 Pro is a GREAT option

    I love the Mini series drones. I had the Air 2 and got a Mini 2. This made my Air 2 obsolete. Then I upgraded to the 3 Pro, have just sold that and moved up to the 4 Pro. I love them. Add in less flight restrictions and I can’t think of anything better for me.

    I am looking into getting one. I currently have the mini 2. The biggest things i am looking forward to is being able to lock onto a target and filming that way. My question is recording audio did you habe to buy something extra to get audio in the videos?

  • @victorbenner539
    @victorbenner539 3 месяца назад +1

    I was really impressed at how good the audio was using the drone but not hearing it by using the remote microphone. How far was the drone from you while recording this? It would be wonderful to use a drone like this while salmon fishing in my boat. Especially while fighting a fish but recording from the drone and still talking through how to deal with the fish. I still don't own a drone but I'm planning on finally getting one this fall. Any recommendations gladly excepted. Have a great day.

    Question, how were you able to sync the audio from the Mic 2 to the M4P so smoothly? I have the Osmo Pocket 3 with the creator combo Mic 2 and I think that’ll be so cool for videos for me. Did you just record audio to the Mic 2 and record video from the M4P and mash them together in the editing process?

    • @AirPhotography
      @AirPhotography  Месяц назад

      What I do is an old trick where you just clap when you start recording. And then you just line up the spike of the audio to where you’re clapping. And usually you can get it pretty close.

But I am in Canada too and the rules are still restrictive and several places are not flyable with a base certificate. What would your advice be? buy now a 4 pro, an air 3s, or wait for the 5 pro?

      The Mini 3 and 4 are amazing in the wind. So far ahead of the 2. Maybe think about one of them before spending on a bigger drone, plus the less flight restrictions of the 250g drones.

      They’re both excellent drones and they do perform very similarly. Air 3 gives you the extra camera, which can be very important to some creators, it’s faster and can handle more wind. Mini 4 is a lot lighter and more compact. So it really all depends on what your needs are. It is a tough decision.

      It actually does pretty well, and even if the drone is getting blown around a bit, the footage remains incredibly stable. I made a short a couple weeks ago. You can see just how much the drone was being tossed around yet. The footage was smooth. And even when it’s been blown around, it’s still locked in place with GPS. It doesn’t drift.

      If you want good video quality, avoid the Neo. Video quality is very poor. If it’s a fun flight experience you want and don’t care to much about video quality, the Neo works for some, but I’d much prefer a radio controlled toy for that. Orders of magnitude better. For me, I only go drone for video quality or photography, which immediately rules out Neo.
